Abstract

Hair accessories are provided that include first and second combs, a support member, and a plurality of hair strands coupled to the support member. In one embodiment, a connecting member connects the first and second combs and the support member is spirally wrapped around the connecting member. In another embodiment, a plurality of elastic strips connect the first and second combs, and the support member is coupled to at least one respective elastic strip. In yet another embodiment, an elastic unit connects the first and second combs, and the hair strands are operatively coupled to the elastic unit. The elastic unit includes a first base band operatively coupled to the first comb, a second base band operatively coupled to the second comb, and a plurality of elastic strips extending between the first base band and the second base band to connect the first base band and the second base band.
